[Game] Kings v. Pelicans - Saturday, Jan. 4 - 7PT/10ET

[SacTownKid]

It's not totally fair that this is the crew responsible for climbing back out of a mess they didn't create game after game. Walton needs to refine his rotations. The team is not in rhythm like the were so tinkering at the start and end of quarters won't cut it.

 

[Kingster]

Lonzo is picking the Kings apart.

Correction. The Kings are picking the Kings apart.

 

[SLAB]

Buddy giveth and Buddy taketh away.

 

[SLAB]

And Hart pulls a Buddy Hield. What a dummy. Lmao

 

[jcwkings]

Correction. The Kings are picking the Kings apart.

Na, his basketball IQ stands out. Higher than anyone we have, that's for sure.

 

[SLAB]

NOLA saying “We want this lin.”

 

[Gliesian]

Someone tell me how to feel

 

[Groovygreg]

By far, Buddy makes the most mental blunders of any player on the Kings squad. Over the course of a season, those mistakes add up to a lot of squandered opportunities and translate to more than a few losses.

 

[Kingster]

LOL. Walton calls a TO to prevent Buddy Hero Ball!

 

[Larry89]

Someone tell me how to feel

Ever listen to a really depressing Pink Floyd song about existence and time and how things never change?

 

[Reverend]

GREAT timeout there. No telling what Buddy would’ve done

By far, Buddy makes the most three pointers of any player on the Kings squad. Over the course of a season, those threes add up to a lot of additional points and translate to more than a few wins.

 

[SLAB]

I know Buddy was never a high IQ player, but did this contract make him dumber? Is he trying too hard to justify it, and it just results in the worst possible results?

That’s all well and good... when the team’s record is 13-22? Dude probably deserves to get called out for the bonehead play.

EDIT; Not to say it’s all Buddy, everyone is fair game.

Something happened during his contract negotiations or something, it seems his Ego has taken over and he really stopped buying into a team mentality, throwing out quotes saying people dont trust him etc, seems like it is the other way around.

He was never like this until his contract negotiations

 

[Tetsujin]

Losing because the one guy on the team who usually boxes out didn’t box out is totally Kangz

What's his efficiency been this season?

Yes, but. The whole team has been terrible, all year. Fox has a couple of awful turnovers tonight. Ariza had a stupid pass to contribute to the three-TO's to open the 4th and has done very little positive tonight. But Buddy gets ALL the hate. Does he deserve some, yes. But every other player is getting a pass so the crowd can bag on Buddy.

One question coming into this year to me was: Who is this year's scapegoat? (Because there's always somebody, and WCS is gone.) Well, I've got my answer.

 

[SLAB]

Lmaooooooooooooo

 

[Tetsujin]

PROFESSOR BIG SHOTSSS

 

[Sluggah]

WHAT?!

 

[Kingz19]

Wow, Bjeli is cold blooded

 

[SacTownKid]

The small ball Kings gave Bjelica a crack of daylight and he nailed it.

 

[Tetsujin]

Ref mode activated!!!!

Idk, dude mouthed off, got a massive contract for it, continued to make iffy statements into the season, and plays with less b-ball IQ than ever before. Feels like it’s a bit justified to me. :::shrugs:::

Again; not to say every other players shouldn’t get some too. The whole team seems a trainwreck.

 

[SacTownKid]

That was a foul.

 

[Kingster]

They deserved to lose. Didn't play well at all.

There's a reason they have a trade deadline. To make trades!

 

[Larry89]

of course JJ Redick gets open after not playing the entire 4th... embarassing and after seeing the replay it was a clear offensive foul too.. wtf

 

[SLAB]

Giles does it; FOUL —> “GILES WHAT YOU DOIN MAN.”

Favors does it; nothing.

Refs always suck.

 

[burekijogurt]

that was an offensive foul.
